var map;
var directionsManager;
function GetMap()
{
map = new Microsoft.Maps.Map('#myMap', {});
//Load the directions module.
Microsoft.Maps.loadModule('Microsoft.Maps.Directions', function () {
//Create an instance of the directions manager.
var directionsManager = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.DirectionsManager(map);
//Calculate a date time that is 1 hour from now.
var departureTime = new Date();
departureTime.setMinutes(departureTime.getHours() + 1);
//Set Route Mode to transit.
directionsManager.setRequestOptions({
routeMode: Microsoft.Maps.Directions.RouteMode.transit,
time: departureTime,
timeType: Microsoft.Maps.Directions.TimeTypes.departure
});
//Add waypoints.
var waypoint1 = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: 'Redmond, WA' });
directionsManager.addWaypoint(waypoint1);
var waypoint2 = new Microsoft.Maps.Directions.Waypoint({ address: 'Seattle, WA' });
directionsManager.addWaypoint(waypoint2);
//Set the element in which the itinerary will be rendered.
directionsManager.setRenderOptions({ itineraryContainer: document.getElementById('directionsItinerary') });
//Calculate directions.
directionsManager.calculateDirections();
});
